Honda Onsen City Car
How about an autonomous electric vehicle with an integrated hot bath? Introducing the Honda Onsen. When the door opens, you’ll see that one half is a normal bench seat facing backwards, but step into the other part? It’s a gimbal-stabilized, watertight cylindrical cell that can be used as a high-tech hot spring of sorts, complete with a massage jet-equipped seat. Getting too steamy? There’s an outlet to funnel the steam out of the cabin.

Would customers want a vehicle with an internal hot springs? Most likely not, although Japan and several other countries might beg to differ. There just haven’t been any consumer surveys conducted on this feature, so we don’t really know for sure. Plus, with the advent of fully autonomous vehicles, maybe it would be a luxury to enjoy a hot spring while being chauffeured around.
